Saudi Arabia has arrested 17 Filipinos for attending a Halloween party at which there were men and women….but the Filipino embassy fears that the charges relate to the fact that there were men and women at the party.
The Filipino embassy is correct, as Saudi Wahhabi laws prohibit “unattached” males and females from being seen in public together.
The embassy in Riyadh has issued a notice to the Philippine community in the country urging them to be mindful of local sensitivities
It’s peculiar how Islamic states, organizations and supremacists prioritize the protection of their “local sensitivities,” while also prioritizing the imposition of their “local sensitivities” in democracies, mostly without opposition.
“Saudi Arabia Arrests 17 Filipinos For Attending Halloween Party In Riyadh,” Outlook India Magazine, October 30, 2018:
Saudi Arabia has arrested 17 Filipinos for attending a Halloween party at which there were men and women, the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Tuesday.
The Philippine Ambassador to Riyadh, Adnan Alonto, sent a report to the foreign department explaining that a group of Saudi intelligence officers entered a venue in Riyadh where a Halloween party was being held and arrested those attending, reports Efe news.
Alonto has asked for access to the arrested Filipinos in Al Nisa prison, although he has not yet received an answer, as well as accurate information on the charges against them, something that is unclear at the moment.
At first, authorities reported that the party organisers did not have the appropriate permission to do so, but the Filipino embassy fears that the charges relate to the fact that there were men and women at the party.
“Saudi laws strictly prohibit unattached males and females from being seen together in public. The compound was raided after neighbours complained of loud noise,” the statement said.

I think SA is sick and any Islam dominant land is very very sick indeed.
I have been to the Philippines and I love the Filipino people and have the utmost respect for them.
On the other hand I despise Islam and hope for it’s demise!
Marina says
Agreed

and this, though the partygoers were most likely within their segregated compound … no privacy when SHARIA is in the air
Butch says
Sharia is in the air, in the whisper of the tree
Sharia is in the air in the thunder of the sea. . .

Butch says
“Linda Sarsour”. You want to irreparably traumatize the children or what?
Butch says
Wouldn’t it be something if the west would start becoming as consequent towards people who don’t abide by western laws and values?
Jim says
The Philippine Embassy is Philippine country and they should be able to do anything they do back home
in their Embassy. Its none of the Saudi Governments business what does on in their Embassy.

There is no fun in Islam.
Meanwhile here in the civilized world I’m filling my ‘cauldron’ with candy and setting out candles in all the pumpkins in preparation for the trick-or-treaters tonight.

Saudi Arabia, Founding Member of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, signs onto and passes UN Resolution 16/18. Saudi’s with the other 57 Islamic Nations agrees to: Combating Intolerance, negative stereotyping, incitement to violence and violence against, persons based on religion or BELIEF!
Saudi Arabia has violated the human rights of the 17 Filipinos under UN Resolution 16/18.
Saudi Arabia has violated the Human Rights Council: “Reaffirming the COMMITMENT made BY ALL STATES under Charter of the United Nations to PROMOTE and ENCOURAGE UNIVERSAL RESPECT for and observance OF ALL HUMAN RIGHTS and FUNDAMENTAL Freedoms WITHOUT distinction as to, inter alia, religion or BELIEF”.
So Saudi Arabia validates the OIC and UN are a fraud. UN Resolution 16/18 is a Fraud being perpetrated upon the West for Domination purposes!
